Seriously, this is me asking you lovely internet folks about your vitamin habits. Let me know...
Here's why.
I've been feeling the need to add some vitamins to my daily routine. I mean, I eat my veggies, yogart and fruit, but enough? That's debatable.
So I began to do a bit of research and internet folks, do you realize how much QUACK SHIT is written about vitamins online? Alot!
So I've started taking cod liver oil again (it's my mother's fav) which I know it's technically a vitamin, but same difference.
Also, taking a HUGE horse pill of a prenatal multi vitamin. Now, I am not, and am not planning on becoming pregnant. Just typing that sent a bit of a shudder down my spine, totally scary. But I've heard really great things about the combination of vitamins in those for young ladies (of which I am one). So now I take two a day.
Also, thinking about rotating this with a regular multi, cause they have different proportions. Does that make sense or just a bunch of quack? Who knows.
So, there's the basics. But what else?
St. Johns Wort, focus.. that would be nice. But counteracts with birth control and remember the above and the whole NOT getting pregnant thing. So is there another I can take for focus without getting me preggers?
Vitamin C, extra when getting sick? That could be good.
Calcium, but how much? Oh, and then do I have to take a vitamin D so it can be successfully absorbed? Man, this is getting complicated.
Then comes the really weird sounding ones like cat's claw, mistletoe (isn't that just for making out?!?) and licorice root etc etc.
I am currently confused, but am researching, I'll just keep you updated in my quest to be healthy...

wish i could help but im clueless about this kind of thing. i am interested though, so let me know when you find out the healthiest combination and i will test it for you
I don't take vitamins -
couldn't keep the prenatal ones down and am allergic to zinc which is in the multis.
I think two prenatals a day seems like a lot, and I'm not sure you need the multi on top of it.
There is so much hooey on vitamins, but I do know that if you don't get them from the health food store they have some nasty stuff in them.
(you might be kind of young for the calcium too...)
my two cents.
